Omfg no offence to the people who like copy and pasting these patch notes in for the extra little bit of attention but Seriously? I mean maybe its worth it if a promo item is released but with mini patched like this which are hardly noticeable its just stupid to bother discussing. Please stop posting all the mini updates onto general discussion, its very annoying and very pointless!

Once again, people are angry because they patched. Clearly, they should patch only once every month.

Asukalan is a special case, though. I wonder, what occupation are you? You seem to take great pleasure from negativity. And I'm pretty sure they increased the payout of IMF.

@Asukalan: The sprite bug happened to me, it basically was when you would talk to the sprite and your controls would be disabled until the conversation was done. This would be hell if the zombies were surrounding you. You can only talk to the sprite once (I think, not sure) so it would only be exploited once max. Not enough for a major exploit.

@Erridunno In theory, it would be better if someone copies the patch notes and all the discussions/rants about it go on that topic. It's a way to avoid 10x threads about the same update. But ya, it never works.

I liked this update, those bugs were a pain in the butt. The only negative thing that I see is the Twins nerf, they didn't need a nerf... every one prefer JK runs already because of twin's low payout.

"Crown and heat payouts have received further balancing, most notably in the Ironclaw Munitions Factory." And of course, why not, another fresh portion of crown and heat nerfs, everything to make players more poor and force them to buy more CE for $$$

^

Now don't you feel silly for saying that =0

well at least we know they are doing something

Finally a "Crown and heat payouts have received further balancing" that doesn't mean nerf. :P
Now that Nick explained it I can say that I liked 100% of this patch, not just some parts.

Thank you for this patch, OOO. It may not be new content, but I was always annoyed that IMF gave in comparison to RJP much less crown payout, being also my favorite dungeon and the one I think fits more this game (puzzle+fighting=90% true Zelda-like experience). As well as those fixes.

Folks, rebalancing isn't always nerfing, just ask instead of overreact. Remember the equipment patch.

(And yes, I would like more "active" puzzle dungeons, like the missile ones in IMF. Roarmulus twins is my favourite boss, minus Vana last phase with having to deal with fire mazes when solo. In fact, I noticed that new RJ is more puzzle like instead of combat because of the "healing" slime turrets... so the game is going more into good zelda-like boss fights, and proof of that is also the Battlepods. That is also why I am so expectating of possible new content like that.)

Fast edit: Well, even better. We can ask "hey Nick, what are the levels changing?" Why he wouldn't answer? I wish those Concrete Jungle levels got better.

Also people who blatantly throw out inferences to things without proper documentation and research are called liars.

That's crazy right? Yeah. It's crazy.

No, so many spawn that they have to spawn outside the barrier in order to fit

"Here we go, stealth patches."

Sad to say, but this rage has become the new CE Price Rage threads.

To believe its gotten this bad.

Well, I'm done here. I'll be waiting for the next batch of missions for Shadow Lairs only and more on the playable content of the game.

See yah here and in suggestions, cus I want to toss out a new boss idea just because I have absolutely nothing better to do; but for now, I'm gettin some food.

EDIT: Sure the patches make the game better, but we've had enough secrecy for now i think.

THANK YOU.

I appreciate this, really. This was a good first step towards making the payouts direct players toward fighting all of the content rather than just one level to earn money. Thank you for the knock back, and thank you for the elevator bug. That bug always made me mad, as I like to see what kind of party I'm joining when I am joining a party.

The nature sprite was also good...

To those complaining- "Oak's words echoed... There's a time and place for everything, but not now."

How to know if its time to start complaining on the forum and generating petitions:
-All or most of the community has been greatly hurt financially
-You aren't happy with the amount of content, and the current patch is attempting to get money from you (EG Accessories for the 5th update in a row)
-People who have paid have been cheated of their purchase's potential value (EG Red/Black/White Regalia is being sold, though that would not be bad if it hadn't been for the limited time offer and the nature of such promotions)
-The game is unbalanced, and a large portion of the community feels that it needs to be fixed (EG Big angry bomb/Toothpics in lockdown)

If I am reading this all right then I am very content with this patch. The fixin's in FSC and the payout buff in IMF sound ever so pleasent. From what I am reading, is this new party button after the part where you have to pick one of two paths and decide which way to go and then press a bunch of buttons to access the key in the area? If it is, I do agree a button is nice there. Second question if the first is a yes, is this the case for both sides or just the one on the left that everyone goes? :P

I played through the IMF and thought the payout seemed bigger than I was used to. Every second monster was dropping a gold coin. :)

It wasn't too high either, after a full tier 2 run including two arenas and at least one danger room, I came out with 7500 crowns, basically the same as the Royal Jelly gate tends to pay.

I must say I feel like a fool. A guildmate made a joke in guild chat the other day about how negative and whiny Asuka is and I defended the guy, saying that he'd been more reasonable lately because I hadn't seen any ridiculous posts lately.
Now here we are with a minor patch with some great bug fixes and more payout balance and he goes off the deep end again accusing OOO of being greedy, and two-faced, and makes fool of himself suggesting that the patch notes indicated the opposite of what they meant (among other silliness.)

I guess that's what I get for trying to be fair when I know better.

I always have a chuckle when people complain about not being told about minor changes or use the term "stealth patches" as though the community is ENTITLED to be told about everything changed in the game.
Some people have so much difficulty with the difference between PRIVILEGE and RIGHT. It's a privilege that OOO is so forthcoming about specific changes that come in successive builds.
If only forum PRIVILEGES were tied a bit more tightly to conduct...

just did it and the payout was over 2800. Also, the healing butterfly in that first level on the left side was gone, which makes it quite a bit easier.

"yet another lame patch congrats OOO"

Yet another stupid post. Congrats community.

Seriously, it's a goddamn BUGFIX, not a 'lookie here we made a new shiny thing for you all to look at' update.

Shut up and be grateful they bothered to fix the problems NOW than whenever they decide that they're gonna release new content in a form you'd rage at ANYWAY.

"Shut up and be grateful they bothered to fix the problems NOW than whenever they decide that they're gonna release new content in a form you'd rage at ANYWAY."

You'd think he/she/it would know that by now if he/she/it had at least 2 brain cells to rub together. So much negativity and yet he/she/it is still regularly coming back to the forums to flame and maybe even still playing SK. Masochistic much?

oh chill people. geebus
